Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - No bluebells yet, but they have a 'beautiful up-spring of cuckoo-flowers' in the long grass with the last of the cowslips. There is no-one to get rid of the dandelions, and he is 'becoming reconciled to them'. Glad to hear of the success of the "Annual [of New Poetry]"; recognises that it is 'a very good show'. Robert will certainly be interested in Gosse's book [his "Life of Algernon Charles Swinburne"], which is 'put together with rare skill, and self-restraint'; a good question whether Gosse is 'explicit enough about the life which the wretched creature led' but it is possible to 'read between the lines'. Sends love to 'all at the Park, hostess [Annie Philips] and guests'.
